Saving Time and Money Utilizing Trade Show Professionals

Reducing Your Budget With Trade Show Professionals

Reliable Restoration was sending staff to every trade show and needed a way to cut back on expenses.

Katie at Reliable Restoration was in charge of the event planning team. In previous years, Reliable Restoration had 32 trade shows per year that lasted an average of 5 days each. Katie’s team had been traveling to each trade show to ensure things were going as planned.

Stricken with increasing travel expenses, Katie needed to find a way to get her budget under control. Not having a booth at the trade shows was not an option because they produced too many viable leads for the company. She came across GCG Event Partners and was able to completely change their trade show model, saving both time and money while maintaining their ability to acquire leads.

She ended up finding a way to help Reliable Restoration bring in more new businessAfter listening to Katie’s needs, GCG was able to ease her concerns. To begin, GCG was able to fix Reliable Restoration’s budget problems. Utilizing GCG’s local Trade Show Professionals saved them about $500 per trade show. The savings proved to be much more in larger cities where flights, lodging, and meals were more expensive. GCG was able to help lower the cost for each trade show they participated in across the country. Because GCG was able to provided the cost for Trade Show Professionals (TSPs) nationwide, budgetary planning became much easier.

GCG also gave Katie’s team a solution for every one of her trade shows. GCG guaranteed experienced TSPs for any venue in the U.S. This allowed Katie and her team to remain in the office, which lead to more productivity and efficiency. With the planning team able to remain back at the office and money freed up from travel expenses, Reliable Restoration was able to take part in more trade shows which produced more leads for the company.

Katie’s ability to produce more leads and generate more revenue for Reliable Restoration was an incredible discovery. A mission to reduce travel expenses brought Katie to GCG, but she ended up finding a way to help Reliable Restoration bring in more new business.
